A possible future project for us at Bridge Classic Cars may be our 1990 BMW E32 750 il with a droopy headlining.

A common problem with classics and modern classics is the headlining starting to droop. A few factors that can cause this to happen is direct sunlight and in particular the heat that is generated from the sun. This can often melt the glue which causes the material to become unstuck and drop.

It would also be an age related issue. The fixings and adhesive used may be getting old and tired. The material used may be stretching.

I had a similar issue myself on my Aston Martin DB9 so we removed the ceiling board and fitted with new material.
